Rob Liefeld Also Wants a Zack Snyder Cut of Justice League

Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld has joined the cause to call for the release of Zack Snyder's original cut of Justice League. Of course, Liefeld has always been more of a Marvel guy as the mastermind behind Deadpool and other characters in the X-Men universe, but he's not the only one to step forward to back Snyder's vision after the director had to leave the production of Justice League in the wake of a family tragedy, which left co-writer Joss Whedon to finish the project.

Unfortunately, despite making some improvements over the critically panned Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, the chaotic production of Justice League resulted in a predictably disjointed film that received a lukewarm reaction from critics and a mixed response from fans. Many of those theatergoers have spoken in the form of the movie's disappointing box office run, but others have created a groundswell of support for the release of Snyder's original cut. You can add Liefeld to the latter list.

Unfortunately for those who wish to see Snyder's original vision get a proper release, it's very unlikely to happen at this point for a complicated range of reasons. There could, however, be an extended edition with some deleted scenes added to the final theatrical cut. The fact that the petition went so viral - and that people within the industry are speaking out in favor of Snyder's cut - proves that there is at least some legitimate support behind his work on Justice League. Those who signed the petition are convinced that the director's original vision would represent an improvement over the issues that plagued the final edition.
